🏆 Chico High Panthers — 2025 Championship Season
& Jr Panthers Legacy
The Chico High School Panthers football team had an incredible 2025 season, rising from a 1‑9 record in 2024 to become Northern Section CIF Division II champions with an impressive 11‑2 overall record. Their headline championship victory over Foothill High School, 28–20, was a testament to grit, teamwork, and relentless improvement throughout the season.

This dramatic turnaround showcased a team that embraced hard work, discipline, and community pride — values that were instilled in many of its players long before they reached high school. That foundation begins with youth programs like the Chico Jr Panthers, where athletes develop essential football skills, learn teamwork, and build confidence from an early age.
Over the years, several Chico Jr Panthers alumni have continued their gridiron journey at Chico High, bringing with them advanced fundamentals and a competitive edge learned through youth leagues. The success of the 2025 Chico High Panthers illustrates how a strong youth program prepares young athletes for the demands of high school competition — from mastering blocking and tackling techniques to understanding strategy and leadership.
Chico High’s 2025 performance didn’t stop at the section title. After winning the Northern Section championship, the Panthers advanced deep into the CIF NorCal playoffs, showing they could compete at the highest regional levels.
